APNIC EC ELECTION - About
Voting is an important right of all APNIC Members.
The APNIC Executive Council (EC) represents the APNIC Membership and acts in the best interests of the organization. It consists of seven elected members and the Director General of APNIC.
Each member of the EC serves a two-year term of office and is eligible for re-election at the end of each term. See the list of the current APNIC EC members.
Three positions on the APNIC EC will be open for election at APNIC 61 on 12 February 2026. The EC roles and obligations are available to view.
Nominees
Any APNIC Member may nominate any individual to serve on the APNIC EC.
Nominations for the EC election open from 5 January 2026 to 20 January 2026 at 17:30 (UTC +10) and are made via the online nomination form.
Who can vote?
Only organizations with a current APNIC Member account are eligible to vote in EC elections.
Voting entitlements are only available to individuals who are Corporate Contacts or authorized contacts with voting rights given by the Corporate Contact.
If you’re not the Corporate Contact, talk to the person who is the Corporate Contact in your organization to make sure they are aware of the election and voting deadlines.
If you don’t know who is the Corporate Contact in your organization (but you’re a listed Account Contact), you can find out in MyAPNIC under the Member Account Settings menu.
Who can I vote for?
